Dr. Gordon H. Millar, Chairman Board of Regents 909 Myers Building Springfield, Illinois Dear Dr. Millar:

62701

On behalf of all who shared in the design of this new senior university for the State of Illinois, I take pleasure in presenting to you the accompanying document, the "Long Range Development Plan - Sangamon State University Springfield, Illinois". Since August 1969 the architects and their consultants, in a most earnest collaboration with President Robert Spencer, the administration, the faculty and student representatives of this and other schools, have developed this plan* Following periodic reviews, the plan was adopted, in principle, at the meeting of the Board of Regents in July 1970. The construction of interim facilities for 600 students, integrated in the plan during its development, was completed in September 1970. We are most grateful to the Board of Regents for the trust they have placed in us. We have sincerely tried to give expression to the aspirations of the board as we understood them. For the students and teachers of years to come, we hope that this design will prove to be functional, efficient and flexible, safe, comfortable and economical, and above all, beautiful* We hope that it will contribute significantly to the educational objectives of the State of Illinois.

Very Jgruly yours,

Joseph D. Murphy
